Warm Welcome

THE SETTING Highland Park Village has become a designer paradise, and its proprietors are celebrating the induction of Alexander McQueen to the venerable collection. A cocktail reception, with Cindy Rachofsky playing hostess and proceeds benefitting TWO x TWO for AIDS and Art, was a perfectly understated welcome. THE SCENE Just kidding; there is nothing understated about McQueen­—guests enjoyed Champagne and bite-sized appetizers in the boutique among smashed marble, lacquered linen, white -rubbed Gesso and blush-pink glass lighting as they admired dragonfly emblazoned pieces from the spring 2013 ready-to-wear collection. THE CROWD The McQueen-loving crowd included Elaine Agather, Gonzalo Bueno and Michael McCray, Jennifer Clark, Claire Emanuelson, party guru Todd Fiscus, Muffin Lemak, Catherine MacMahon, Chuck Steelman, Stephen and Elisa Summers, Shelby Wagner, Christen Wilson and other well-dressed Dallas shoppers.
